Pressure Advance not working on layer 1
-
I have two Duet-Wifi controlled printers, a Delta and an Ormerod 2. I've just recently become aware that pressure advance is not working on layer 1 on the Ormerod 2. Pressure advance on layer 2 and above is working as expected on the Ormerod 2 and works on all layers on the Delta. I'm using the same command on the config.g on both printers, M572 D0 S0.1. I have nothing in the slicer (S3D 4.1) that would explain this problem and do not know where to look to correct this issue. Here is my config running firmware 2.01:

How can you tell it's pressure advance? What is actually showing as the problem?

Both of my printers use a geared extruder. You can see the gear stop at the end of a pass when pressure advance is working, or feel it stop when touching it. Or see that it is not stopping when PA is not working. What got me to look at it initially was the buildup of plastic at the end of the run that pressure advance normally prevents.

@ayudtee said in Pressure Advance not working on layer 1:
M572
If you send M572 when the print is going it will reply with the currently set value. Perhaps it is getting changed somewhere between the config.g and printing.

Good idea, I'll try it when I'm back at layer 1. Just started a 6 hour job..
-
The first layer is typically printed more slowly than other layers. This in turn will mean that pressure advance will do less (or perhaps no) reverse motion of the extruder gears on the first layer.

@dc42 This makes sense as I've recently lowered the speed setting down to 30mm/s on the Ormerod. Thanks for your help.
